Triumph man killed in row over money on D’Urban Street

A young father was in the wee hours of Sunday killed along D’Urban Street, Georgetown after an angry mechanic allegedly slammed into him with his motor car.
The dead man has been identified as 29-year-old David Barcley, also called “Justin Blake”, of Truimph, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Based on information received, the young man was driving along D’Urban Street when his motor car encountered mechanical problems. However, he reportedly contacted a mechanic for some assistance.
The mechanic reportedly turned up at the location and fixed the problem, but Barcley was reportedly short $700 to pay him. Guyana Times understands that the mechanic’s fee was $4000, but Barkley only had $3300. This led to an argument.
During the argument, the mechanic reportedly jumped in to his car, drove off ‘with a speed’ and slammed into the young man. After he was struck, Barcley was dragged several feet. The mechanic then fled the scene, leaving the injured man on the roadway.
Persons in the area who witnessed the incident rushed to the aid of the young man. He was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he succumbed at the Accident and Emergency Unit while receiving medical attention.
The incident was reported to the Police and an investigation has been launched. The identity of the suspect was related to the Police.
